Introduction

Hello, this is my first post on my new blog.

I have been interested in Photography for a while, music for years and my family forever and this blog will be used as a way of expanding my Facebook and Flickr web presence to allow me the flexibility to share with you the things I enjoy.

I will be using this to share my favourite photos which I have taken with my Nikon D40 and various elements of equipment, some bought, some home-made.  I am no pro, but one day it is my hope that I am decent enough to earn enough money through photography to expand my collection of gadgets (photography and other gadgets) - If I can't win the Five.tv Gadget Show competition, then I can sure as hell buy some of my favourite things!

I will also be keeping the blog up to date with my DJ'ing exploits - I am an Indie Rock DJ with occasional stints at the Little Civic in Wolverhampton on Friday and Saturday nights, and I also DJ the occasional wedding and birthday party, usually when the bride/groom/birthday celebrant is into Indie music and doesn't trust a moer traditional 'party' DJ.

Finally, I have 2 small boys (2 and 5 at the time of writing this) and I plan to share my experiences in being a father with you all - for better or worse.

Shocked Chicken is a theme I came up with whilst taking some photographs in a light box I built for myself and I like the theme - it conjurs images of fun, children, humour and, well, chickens, so I hope that you will forgive me this momentary lapse in wit and accept that not all of this blog will be about chickens, shocked or otherwise, but I hope you get comfortable and enjoy my contributions.
